Abstract
Pediatric cancer is one of the major challenges faced by healthcare systems worldwide, and Iran is no exception. Additionally, the prevalence of various hereditary blood diseases and bleeding disorders in our country, often due to consanguineous marriages, has necessitated the establishment of specialized departments in the healthcare sector to support these particular patients. These departments continuously require scientific information for decision-making and policy formulation. With the rising incidence of childhood cancer and the urgent need for specialized and advanced care, various organizations have been established in Iran to address this issue. One of the most significant of these organizations is the Iranian Society of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, which, with 155 active members and a considerable number of affiliate members distributed across the country, plays a crucial role in improving the medical and supportive care conditions for children with blood disorders and cancer. This article examines the history, activities, and challenges faced by this society.
